Day 6: Don't Go Chasing Waterfalls
Today was UNREAL. We started the day with class (of course), and we talked about the importance of different politics and political systems in globalization. It was interesting because, as anthropology students (and as a budding anthropologist myself), politics is just another part of studying cultures.
After class, we all piled into our two vans (we’ve now dubbed them the Red Baron and the Green...
Day 5: Those Burning Words
Today started off perfectly. As many of you are dying to know, I’m sure, Morgan and I found real coffee! We went to Best Coffee and Donut House, a place off the main road that was scoped by our comrades earlier in the week. We begged them to show us and of course, they obliged. It was delicious. We had great coffee and there were so many donuts and bagels to choose from.
While we waited for Chad...

Day 4: Survivor: Palau Season 2
So, after being without internet for two days (the horror!), I posted Day 3 earlier, and now here’s Day 4. I slept through the night last night, and woke up at 7am instead of 4am, so I feel pretty good about that!
The day started early with us hopping on a boat to the island of Peleliu. The boat ride was about an hour long, and was absolutely beautiful. We rode through the electric blue ocean...
Day 3: The ABC's of Palau: Ambassador, Birthday...
Today started pretty early for me. I’ve still been wrecked by jet lag, so I was wide awake at 4am. I got to chat with a lot of people from home, though, since it was mid afternoon. Now, however, I am absolutely exhausted.
We got up and headed to the U.S. Embassy first thing this morning. The Embassy is brand new, as Palau only recently installed an ambassador to the U.S. a couple years ago....

Day 2: Coffee and Coconuts
First of all, you can see some pictures and stuff below (I uploaded some cool ones earlier!) from today’s adventures.
Morgan and I got about 3 hours sleep between the two of us (about 2.8 of which were mine) last night, but we still woke up today excited to check everything out in daylight. There are roosters and chickens everywhere…one particularly excited rooster made sure to let us know it was...
the 48 hour day...
travel started bright and early on Sunday, May 13th (my birthday and mother’s day! sorry i couldn’t be with ya, mom). Morgan (my sorority sister and best friend who is with me in Palau, along with 13 other students) and i woke up at her house in Richmond at 5 am so we could begin the trek to Richmond with her wonderful parents. it was a long drive, followed by a short flight to...
